U.S. Companies Spending Record-High Cash Piles On Everything But Jobs

U.S. companies have started to spend their record high piles of cash, but most won't be using it to boost hiring.

Since the credit crisis, U.S. companies have collected about $940 billion in cash. Per-share profit surged 36% in 2010, the biggest jump since 1988, and companies cut capital expenditures 26% in 2009 to compensate for the ailing economy.
